What black player is praised for skill and awareness? I cant think of many? I mean real black, not lighter shades like Henry.
I think this is a classic example. We have signed Ndombele, who to me looks technically brilliant, has an eye for a pass (7 assists last year). Hes obviously a very intelligent player.
But the press will focus on his pace and power. Same with Pogba, the double p raises its ugly head.
The you have our player of the year Sissoko who has to take a back seat for Winks. Who has never been more than a bench player for Spurs when we have a full squad.
Why is the Sissoko Ndombele combination not fancied? Its because its perceived to have a lack of intelligence. You need to stick a white guy in there to get that.
It smacks of racism IMO. Maybe not the hardcore 1980s racism, but the tones are still present. Black people are strong and stupid.

Did you ever consider that people want a Ndombele-Winks combination because they think it's simply a better suited combination? Considering Ndombele appears to have the best assets of Sissoko - who worked well alongside Winks - it's not a stretch.The you have our player of the year Sissoko who has to take a back seat for Winks.

So you're implying that people who aren't 'real' black, aren't black?What black player is praised for skill and awareness? I cant think of many? I mean real black, not lighter shades like Henry.

Even I've had a few! Quadrupled my total in the Judas legend thread alone!What's a disagree? never had one.
gayNabs, I’ve always liked you. Just because we have the occasional tussle doesn’t change that. You know your stuff and that’s good enough for me.
I argue with my friends, who I love dearly, and we always part as friends in tears of laughter. If I ever met you I’d be proud to call you my friend as well.
